Circuit intervention
Circuit intervention
The effects of stimulating a focal brain target, depend not only on the state of the target but also on the state of the circuits or networks to which the target belongs. Conversely, the effects of stimulating a focal brain target are not limited to the target alone, and can instead influence the entire circuit to which the target belongs. The goal of this lecture is to demonstrate state dependent circuit level effects of NIBS, and illustrate how such effects can be leveraged for both basic science and clinical applications.
At the end of this lecture, students will be able to explain the theory behind circuit interventions, and apply these principles for planning NIBS studies.
Topics covered in this lesson
- Explanation of how effects of stimulating a focal brain target depend on both the state of the target and the circuits/networks it belongs to.
- Illustration of how stimulation of a focal brain target can influence the entire circuit it belongs to, not just the target itself.
- Demonstrate state-dependent circuit-level effects of NIBS and show their application in basic science and clinical settings.
